Annapurna’s recursive puzzle adventure Maquette comes to Switch next week
Maquette, the striking “recursive” first-person puzzle adventure from developer Graceful Decay and publisher Annapurna Interactive, is making its way to Switch next week, on 25th May.
Originally released for PlayStation and PC back in 2021, Maquette builds an ingenious series of spatial challenges inspired by the small-scale sculptors’ models that give the game its name.
Maquettes are sculptures crafted before embarking on a full-scale project, and in Graceful Decay’s puzzler, that’s reflected in environments that contain smaller versions of themselves. Crucially in Maquette, changes made to one environment affect the other – so if you were to, say, place a cube in a tiny courtyard in front of you, it would then materialise in the full-size courtyard you stand in, giving you a means to progress to the next area – and on it goes.
